Original Spanish Character with Thoughtful Modern Updates

Inside, beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the living spaces, where original details have been lovingly preserved. The living room is particularly special, with decorative wood-beam ceilings, arched architectural elements, and a wood-burning Batchelder tile fireplace that serves as the room's centerpiece.

A formal dining room connects to the updated kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a charming breakfast nook, and French doors that open directly to the garden. It's a wonderful connection between the indoor living spaces and the outdoors.

Three Bedrooms and Flexible Living Spaces

The home's three bedrooms offer a nice balance of comfort and versatility. The front bedroom enjoys gorgeous natural light, while the middle bedroom features a built-in Murphy bed, making it equally suited for overnight guests or a home office.
